LOCATION

SEASON & SEA CONDITIONS

Fregate Island Private’s location enjoys a temperate climate all year, however, there are two distinctive weather seasons.

The period between October and May is called the Northwest Monsoon, and characterized by the lack of wind. Ideally consisting of calm sea conditions and moderate northwest winds, favoring big game fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling.

The period between May and October is called the Southeast Monsoon, commonly characterized by steady, high winds from the southeast, causing rough sea conditions. Watersports and those whom favor these winds like windsurfing and sailing, are extremely popular activities during this season.

RESTAURANTS & UNIQUE ISLAND DINING EXPERIENCES

The main restaurant is located in the open Fregate House and is characterized by a plantation style and casual elegance. It’s a fine à la carte restaurant where you can dine while admiring the beautiful scenery of the clear blue ocean and the islands of Praslin and La Digue on the horizon.

Plantation House, back in the day, was the home of the former plantation owner before the island became the unique paradise it is today, so it is just the perfect venue for our weekly ‘Creole Night’. Everyone comes together to enjoy the local cuisine while listening to traditional Creole music.

On Fregate Island Private, it is all about unique island dining experiences nearly anywhere and anytime you like.

 If it’s breakfast up high in the Banyan Tree House surrounded by singing Fairy Terns or a sunset cocktail on Mont Signal with a magnificent view, private picnics at one of our seven fairy-tale beaches, a candle-light beach barbecue or ‘dine-and-wine’ at the wine cellar, spoil yourself with an ever changing experience personally tailored and organized by your personal assistant.

CULINARY PHILOSOPHY
Our cuisine is fresh from ‘the garden to the table‘ and enriched with creative, customized dishes. The flavours of Fregate Island Private are a pure inspiration for our chefs, which have designed a perfect menu to satisfy all your desires. Regularly tasting menus or chef favorites‘ are our key to keep you spoiled all the way.

More than 80% of our fresh ingredients are organic products from our own garden. Our small island is fertile and bountiful, and we host one of the largest hydroponic systems in the Seychelles, so we are able to grow whatever our chef‘s desire to create the most colorful and tasteful dishes for you.

SEVEN BEACHES
The seven natural beaches, all with a brilliant sweep of powdery white sand, are located all around the island. There is even one beach that can be entirely privatized by flipping the ‘Beach Occupied’ sign and no other island guest will disturb you while sunbathing.

Whenever you arrive at one of the beaches, there is always a cooler box with iced drinks, towels spread on loungers, a fresh water shower and you can call your private assistant for anything more you wish. This is genuinely wild beauty with delicate light luxury.

Each beach has its own special character, from Anse Victorin that has excellent snorkelling just 15 metres off shore, Marina Beach is protected by a coral reef and always calm.

To reach Anse Park you walk through a jungle trail past giant tortoises heading to their mud bath. Anse Bamboo is just below Fregate House and has boogie boards and a beach bar for light lunch and crushed iced drinks.

Grand Anse is our wildest and loveliest, you can hear the roar of the waves before you emerge from the jungle trail, order a cocktail and watch the magnificent sunsets.

Anse Victorin has been voted the most beautiful beach in the world, but it is impossible to capture this panoramic place in words.

THE ROCK SPA

The Rock Spa is a shaded sanctuary, a peaceful teak house on a granite hilltop with views across the rain forest canopy to the Indian Ocean. Treatments are created bespoke for The Rock Spa and we use many of the botanicals and fruits grown on the island. Guests can even collect the fruits and herbs in the gardens on their own to create a delicious treatment of natural beauty. An infinity pool hangs over lush greenery, why not float and look up at the soaring birds through the trees for a soothing relaxed moment to one of the natural spa treatments delivered with gentle professionalism.

YOGA
Yoga class is held every morning (Monday to Friday) at 8.00 am. Join our instructor for a group session of morning Yoga up at The Rock Spa. Private sessions of your favorite type of Yoga at your favorite place, all around the island, can be booked with your private assistant.
